my world....

I arrived home from Palm Springs to freezing rain and snow on it's way. Talk about a reality check!! Big sigh...for sure! A few days later, down came the snow.... Thank goodness it's so pretty. I love capturing Ben outside, a little snow on his nose...so cute.

As I've been posting my snow photos on IG others have been posting images of lunch on the patio, walks on the beach.....Such a contrast....so hard to believe some days.

Today, share with us....a little glimpse into your world. We'd love to see.

safety nets

 

Taking risks is not easy for everyone. Who am I kidding? Taking risks is not really easy for anyone. Because taking risks usually means doing something that makes us feel unsure, uncomfortable, unsafe, or uneasy. And that is hard.  Yet, people  take risks every day. Some big and some small. But, no matter the size, or the significance (or even insignificance) of the risk, what does matter is that we stepped out of comfort zone for a while. We pushed ourselves, put ourselves out there, leaped, took the plunge, dove in.

One of the best part of a community like this one here at Shutter Sisters is that in each other, we have a support system, a cheering section, a life ring. It doesn't always make taking risks less scary but knowing that there is a safety net of sisters here for you can really help remind us that we're all in this together.

Are there risks you've taken that you'd like to share? How about risks you want to take but are afraid to? The more we share our fears, the less power they have over us. Remember, you are not alone. We're here for each other.

going underwater

One of my highlights of Shuttersisters Oasis was playing with the Lifeproof cases… Playing with submerging my iphone in the water… (yikes)… playing with a new medium of photography… playing with light and texture… playing with a new way of seeing... and playing with chance.

It totally made me let go of chasing a "perfect" shot and made me surrender to those happy accidents you sometimes find among your camera roll.

I loved capturing people swimming and others taking photos with Lifeproof cases - you really can't see clearly what you're shooting under the water, so you just point the lens in the general direction and click away.

I also loved being in front of the camera and working with Kristin and others to make pretty shapes and textures in the water… we used scarves and ribbons while gliding in the water.

I can't wait to dive in a pool and play again… that's not going to happen for quite a while over here in the UK!... so I'm going to have to take my Lifeproof case out in the rain splashing in puddles instead.

Please share today any of your Lifeproof photos... Tell us how have you found it? What happy accidents have you created?
